The pure red jade pendant attracted everyone and all eyes.

Wen Buhua took back the jade pendant, stared at it for a moment, and handed it to Hu Guiyang.

"Why give it to him?" the giant asked loudly.

Hu Guiyang didn't want it at first, but after hearing this, he held the jade pendant in his hand and smiled and said, "First come first served, I came earlier than you all, so the golden elixir belongs to me."

Wen Buhua walked to the middle of the courtyard and explained: "The golden elixir is a divine object that gives strength and captures attention. It is difficult for ordinary people to control it, and I cannot, so I have to hand it over to Hu Guiyang for the time being. He is one of the very few mortals who can withstand temptation."

"Can I?" Hu Guiyang picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, feeling his heartbeat slowly increasing. He once obtained more than 30 red jades at one time, which was far less excited than he is now. "If I were to run away now..."

The giant jumped up and flew high into the air, landing not far from Hu Guiyang, and the stirred snowflakes splashed all over him.

Hu Guiyang wiped off the snow on his face and smiled and said, "I understand, you guys continue, I'll just watch here."

The giant untied the bear leather jacket on his body and threw it on the ground, revealing his knotted muscles. He was wearing a pair of fluffy leather pants on his lower body, and his hair was casually tied into a round bun. "Come on, what are you waiting for? When you compete, the strong will get a pill. I want to go back to the mountains before dawn."

Several people standing at the door were ready to go.

Wen Buhua said, "Everyone misunderstood. Tonight is not a competition to seize the pill, but a question about the pill."

"Ask Dan? Ask you? What's there to ask?" The muscles on the giant's arms bulged higher.

"Why don't you go back to your room for a nap? Let's talk about it in detail after I'm ready?"

The giant didn't move. In his opinion, it seemed like a better choice to directly seize the pill.

Juren Guo said: "Everyone is a strange man. If you really fight, you will not be able to decide the winner for a while. Instead, you will suffer losses. Given those with ulterior motives, you can take advantage of the opportunity. It is better to follow the guests and listen to how to ask about the elixir method."

"What's special about you?" The giant was not convinced.

Juren Guo held the rope gently, and the soldier hiding behind him suddenly jumped out, without jumping or running. He just took his legs and arrived in front of the giant in three steps. The giant reached out to grab it, and the soldier returned to Juren Guo, as if he had never come out before.

Apart from the speed, the whole process is indeed nothing special.

The giant picked up the bear fur coat on the ground and said, "It's okay to have a rest. I haven't slept in bed for several months. I don't know if I can still bear it."

Hu Guiyang couldn't help but speak, "What I can't stand is the bed."

Ju Cong looked at him coldly, suddenly laughed loudly, and walked back to his room.

Others entered the room and closed the door, even the owner Wen Buhua was the same. In the end, only Hu Guiyang, who was holding the golden elixir, was left.

Things were more complicated and weirder than he expected.

Hu Guiyang walked towards his room, placed the jade pendant next to the oil lamp on the table, and then sat on the stool and took a closer look. Not long after, Dapian came over, jumped to the stool opposite, and stared at the jade pendant.

Hu Gui raised up and took the silver bag, untied it, tore off a long strip from the bag, twisted it thinly with his fingers, carefully penetrated the hole in the middle of the jade pendant, and tied the strip of cloth around the neck of the pancake.

Da Ping kept sticking out her tongue, jumped to the ground and ran around the table and Hu Guiyang for a few laps, looking very happy.

"I can only take it for a while, this is not our thing."

Dapian tilted his head, and seemed not to understand what this sentence meant.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Hu Guiyang pointed under the bed, and Da Ping immediately crawled in without saying a word.

Outside the door is Zhao Aqi, "Wen Buhua asked me to talk to you."

"Please come in." Hu Guiyang gave way, "The strange request is very Wenjiazhuang's style."

Zhao Aqi chuckled twice, and after entering the room, she sat on the stool that Dabing once occupied, "I want to tell you about my experience of becoming an alien."

Hu Guiyang was stunned, "Is this what Wen Buhua calls 'asked pill'?"

“Yes.”

"You don't have to listen to him at all. You are all much better than him."

The Wen family still regained their courage, but they could no longer keep up with the rise of the Yiren in Yunyang.

Zhao Aqi sighed, "We have five people. It is easy to defeat Wen Buhua, but it is too difficult to let others withdraw. Instead of taking the pill, it is better to ask the pill, and Wen Buhua may have more golden pills in his hands."

Hu Guiyang also sat down and smiled and said, "This is not like Zhao Lixing in my memory."

"Zhao Lixing is a fool, senior brother, please call me Zhao Aqi."

"good."

The two were silent for a while, and Zhao Aqi said, "My senior brother knows most of my affairs, let's start with the day of the Yunyang Incident."

"Um."

"Crazy He Wu carried me out of the Dan hole, and I waited there for three days and three nights."

"Three days and three nights?"

"Yes, someone has been here during this period, but everyone is looking for a golden elixir and doesn't care about a half-dead person like me."

"Sorry, I didn't go back to find you."

Zhao Aqi shook his head, "I call you a senior brother because you have indeed helped me like a senior brother, but I know in my heart that there is no connection between you and me. I should only be grateful to you and should not have any more requests."

This is even more unlike Zhao Aqi in the past. Hu Guiyang smiled, "If you are grateful, forget it, just don't hate me."

"I don't hate you, I don't hate anyone, everything is determined by heaven." Zhao Aqi was like an old monk who saw through the world, pondered for a moment, and continued: "The rain of Kuyu did not come out of the tunnel in the end. People who came to find the golden elixir were in constant flow. They went in happily, came out in frustrated, or turned a blind eye to me, or kicked me out. After a heavy rain, I knew everything was over. She named herself Kuyu. This rain must be transformed by her, and told me not to wait any longer."

Hu Guiyang remained silent. Hearing Kuyu was not a person with deep affection. Outsiders could see her use of Zhao Aqi clearly. Even so, they should not be ridiculed.

"I stood up, just in the rain, after walking for a long time, I realized that I was not dead." Zhao Aqi sighed, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "God likes to joke, but I have no idea that the divine power that I can't get after the rain. But my right leg was in trouble, and often had no reason for pain, and the colder the sky became more and more obvious."

"Then you should go to the south to avoid the cold."

"Every time my legs hurt, I have to practice fighting, and my skills have increased, so God punished me and urged me."

"Why do you always say this is a 'punishment'? You did nothing wrong."

Zhao Aqi thought for a while, "Stolen the power of the sky is a sin, and all strangers are no exception."

Hu Guiyang smiled but said nothing.

"I kept heading north, looking for a cold place. I received a letter a month ago, so I came here with the goal of getting the golden elixir."

"Your skills are constantly increasing, what's the use of Golden Pill? Do you have to become the number one master in the world?"

Zhao Aqi shook his head, "I have no such delusion, but the golden elixir can relieve leg pain and protect my memory."

"Save memory?"

"Occasionally, just occasionally, I will suddenly forget some things. Once, I even forgot the bitter rain... I remembered it after a few days. I once got a few golden elixirs of average quality and found that it can help me find my memory, and as long as I put it on my body, the loss of the memory will not happen. The pure red golden elixir is the best effect. If I take it slowly, it will probably last ten or twenty years."

"Wen Buhua asked you to tell stories and ask Dan?" Hu Guiyang suddenly understood.

Zhao Aqi nodded, "In the end, you will decide who the golden elixir belongs to."

"Why me?"

"After the change in Yunyang Mansion, everyone only believes in the senior brother." Zhao Aqi stood up, "No matter what decision the senior brother makes, I accept it, and there is no word."

Zhao Aqi bowed and said goodbye.

Hu Guiyang finally understood why Zhao Aqi changed so much, but because of the Golden Pill.

"Wen Buhua!" Hu Guiyang shouted loudly.

Wen Buhua appeared at the door, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Whose story I want to judge is more touching?"

"You have to judge who the golden elixir should belong to." Wen Buhua showed his unique smile, unfathomable, and was swaying between deception and oracle.

"What if I judge that the golden elixir belongs to me?"

"That's yours."

"Next." Hu Guiyang suddenly developed a fighting spirit, although he didn't know who the opponent was, and what the rules for the competition were.

The second one was the giant. He put on three long coats sewn in bearskin, and once he entered the house, he brought omnipresent pressure, pushed the stool apart, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"My name is Killing Xiong."

"A name changed later?"

"Yeah, doesn't it sound nice?"

"It sounds nice and apt, but I want to know your former name."

"I'm talking so much, are you talking or I talking?"

"Who decides the belonging of the golden elixir? You, or me?"

The giant killed the bear and was silent for a while, "My surname is Xiao, so I won't mention my name. It turned out to be a robber in the mountains. We have met."

"Really?" Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "I won't lose my memory, too, right?"

"No, I wasn't like this at that time. Maybe you still have some impression that it was in an inn not far from Yunyang Mansion. We followed Wen Buhua to chase the big official named Yuan Jie."

"Yunyang Fuzhi."

"Yes, I remember clearly that you cheated everyone away."

"I remembered it too." Hu Guiyang smiled on his face, then looked surprised, "In just a few months, you... have become so big?"

Xiao Shaxiong nodded, "The most terrifying thing is that I'm still growing up."
